• Improve CRM reporting, data quality, dashboards, and follow-up processes.
• Create practical reports that help sales leadership understand what is working, what is stalled, and where to focus.
• Research customers, competitors, markets, applications, and technical trends to support growth planning.
• Support market development efforts across industrial, mobile equipment, OEM, distributor, and engineered product channels.
• Partner with product teams to track growth initiatives, cross-selling opportunities, and product-line performance.
